    I’m so sorry to hear about Bennie. He was such a good man, he lived with us for many years & he would always tell me when I was little, “Be Tough”. I still think of him when I tell me kids that. I haven’t seen him for awhile but he will always be remembered.

    Rod & Lisa, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He was so good to my kids, Julie, Jamie,& Jason, teaching them how to be tough. When Jason was 6 he had him riding a mule & I about had a heart failure. They’ve talked about him a lot. My prayers are with you all & your families.
